Chapter 2 Destiny Restart
Xia Chi's shrill voice echoed, and Du Binquan felt as if his mind was leaking.
[Oh my~ Don't be fooled by the fact that little Doberman is so arrogant on the set every day, but the first thing he does when he gets home at night is kneel down as punishment!]
[Kneel down on the remote control to prevent changing channels, kneel down on the electronic scale to accurately weigh six and a half pounds, kneel down on the instant noodles to prevent them from breaking, kneel down on the keyboard to type the three words "I love you"!]
【Is it so perverted? 】
Du Bin was going crazy.
You, you, you...how did you know all this? You installed a camera in my house?
110? I want to call the police!
Xia Chi scratched his chin, his expression intriguing.
The day before yesterday, Doberman hid behind a door dressed as Lingna Belle to surprise his wife. But when his wife opened Lingna Belle's hood, she discovered a greasy bald head. The surprise turned into shock, and she scratched her face.
[The day before yesterday, I made a strawberry-flavored cake myself, but the number of strawberries wasn't even, so I slapped it on the face and got beaten up by high heels.]
What? Du Binquan wore a sailor suit to skip the third test? His wife scolded him for insulting his idol and then pulled his hair...
Just imagining that scene was enough to make Xia Chi stare blankly with his eyes wide open.
[Isn't there a pair of Dobermans in this world? One is respected in public, and the other is beaten behind the scenes.]
【How did it become so ooc? 】
[Hiss~ He has a shrew at home, and he deliberately provokes her. Is his Doberman dog mentally twisted?]
Xia Chi lowered the corner of his mouth, glanced quietly in the direction of the director's room, clicked his tongue a few times, his eyes full of disgust.
Du Binquan, who could hear the voices in people's hearts and see their expressions on the monitor, was struck from all sides and covered his chest with trembling hands.
Is there still law and order? Is there still privacy?
Xia Chi pinched his fingers for a while and finally understood.
[Oh, so it's the director's wife's problem.]
The director truly wanted to live a good life, but unfortunately, his wife had a low education and low self-esteem. In her youth, she was beautiful, hardworking, and capable, but she toiled and struggled for him, losing opportunities for self-development. While her living standards improved after marriage, she was trapped in household chores, which wore down her will. After giving birth, her temperament changed drastically, with her crying, throwing a tantrum, and even threatening to commit suicide. Each time, Doberman had to be humble and try various methods to comfort her.
[What!!! Last night, I forgot to call her "baby" when I got home, and my wife berated me for six hours without me darling. Finally, I banged my head against the wall to scare her off, and then we both cried... and then...]
[We're back together again...]
Xia Chi was so shocked that his brain froze for five full seconds, his eyes wide open.
Director Du, Director Du, how many surprises do you have in store for me? No wonder you're filled with resentment, like a ghost. It turns out your status at home is even worse than a dog's. Filming during the day, socializing at night, and then coming home and having to pamper yourself to please your adoring wife. You've already lost all your hair in the prime of your life, all because of your wife pulling it out.
Director Du!!! Where's your self-esteem!!! Where's your face!! A man's knees are made of gold. You're the middle-aged talent Du Binquan, who has achieved the Grand Slam in film and television!!!
Du Bin felt deeply hurt.
Don’t say anymore, it’s just tears.
Xia Chi's gaze drifted towards the broadcasting studio again.
[I never thought your life was so difficult. She abused you like this. You should divorce her! !]
Xia Chi opened his mouth wide as if he had received some answer.
[Oh, it's not that my wife doesn't want to leave me, it's that Director Du doesn't want to leave me. Why?]
[Shh... This is strange. Did she save Director Du's life? Or does she have something on him?]
Or perhaps it's that Doberman's mean-spirited nature is ingrained in his bones, like Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai, and that's what he likes?
Du Binquan: “!!!!”
I didn't!! I'm not!!
Xia Chi suddenly realized.
Ah, the answer is so simple—it’s because Doberman really loves her and doesn’t want to give her up.
[Okay, Dubin, I was wrong about you. Dubin, you are a good person. I never thought that you look like a bandit, but you are actually a love saint.]
Don't judge a person by his appearance.
Director Du is a pure love god who is unwilling to give up his childhood friend, first love, and campus goddess. Even if she suffers from postpartum depression, hysteria, paranoia, and paranoia, in his eyes, she is still the same person she always was. She is standing under the poplar tree in her school uniform, promising to be with him forever. I am so sad~
【well!!!】
well--
Du Binquan sighed deeply.
[Respectfully! Director Du, you are this (thumbs-up). I will never call you a dog again. You are clearly a Ninja Turtle.]
[I will definitely cooperate with the acting in the future and work hard to be a qualified background. I will never tease you behind your back again, and I will never put dog food in your snacks again. Also, I encouraged Sister Nan's dog to chew up your walnuts. I will find a chance to compensate you.]
Xia Chi lowered his head and put his two index fingers together.
Du Binquan narrowed his eyes.
It turns out to be you, kid!!
Xia Chi had no idea that his thoughts were being overheard. Suddenly he thought of something and looked confused again.
[Oh, that's not right. Didn't they say Director Du has a bunch of teenage girls? Did I remember it wrong?]
Then I heard the sound of the turtle shell shaking.
[Oh, it was my wife's paranoia that made it up. When she came to the set and made a scene, someone recorded it and spread it around.]
[It seems his wife has been crazy for many years.]
【well!】
well!
Du Binquan burst into tears.
From now on, my identity as a concubine will be clear.
[Tsk tsk tsk, little Doberman is really miserable. His grades are so good that his rivals are taking advantage of him. They're collecting all kinds of negative information about him, spreading rumors everywhere, and even paying off spies to get close to him, just to get ahold of him.]
[What! They're also planning to fabricate rumors that Du Bin Quan had an affair with an underage actor, secretly filming misplaced photos while the director was discussing a scene with the actor, and using ambiguous videos as evidence of pedophilia. Their marketing accounts and online influencers are ready to make this story a reality!]
[I won't be satisfied unless this drama is ruined. ]
Du Binquan was shocked that such a thing could happen.
[Hey! There's a spy in the crew. Who's hiding in the dark corners and attacking us?]
【Let me count on my fingers. 】
Xia Chi on the screen was calm and composed with his eyes closed, as if he was meditating.
Du Binquan: Urgent!
Tell me who the spy is!
Who is it!!
who!
Xia Chi's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
[Ah, it's the assistant, the one called Xiao Li.]
Du Binquan was shocked: Xiao Li!
[Shocking! How come he was chosen by Du Bin himself? He looks honest and upright, but he's actually been bribed by his rivals, secretly collecting all sorts of fabricated videos and recordings, just waiting to abort "Mountain and Sea Monster Hunting Record."]
I was wondering why there was such a big fuss about the filming of this drama. The internet is flooded with negative news, with fans arguing about the ranking and fans of the book criticizing the adaptation. It turns out they're all being driven by jealousy.
[Tsk tsk, a catastrophe is imminent. It's uncertain whether we can finish filming. Maybe we don't need to come to the crew tomorrow. Let's just disband right here.]
Du Binquan: “!!!”
Are you telling the truth?
[This is such bad luck! So many people worked so hard for three months filming, and in the end, it was all for nothing. This is my first drama, what should I do? How should I inform Dubin about this?]
Xia Chi scratched his head anxiously.
"Go straight to Doberman? But Doberman never likes me. If I can believe that, I'll be damned."
[Also, how should I explain the source of this information? Do I just calculate it? If he gets angry, he'll slap me in the face.]
Please, Heaven, distinguish between loyalty and treachery!
Du Binquan covered his heart.
It's like seeing a ghost, I actually believe it.
Just then, assistant Xiao Li walked in from outside and refilled Du Binquan's cup with water.
"Director Du, please have some tea."
"Um."
Du Binquan responded as usual and observed him calmly.
Xiao Li is not tall, but he is nimble and looks calm and reliable. He works hard and knows Du Binquan's preferences very well. He is just like the emperor's trusted eunuchs. Du Binquan values him so much that he even gives the lucrative job of preparing lunch boxes on the crew to his relative.
But he didn't expect that this kid was so ambitious that he didn't even blink when he sold him out for money.
Adults don't show their emotions on their faces. Du Binquan held his teacup and said in a fatherly tone, "Xiao Li, how long have you been following me?"
Xiao Li laughed and said, "Almost three years."
"It's been three years."
Du Binquan made a rough calculation and found that those were the three years when he was troubled both internally and externally, and also the three years when his reputation was ruined!
His failed projects were even more numerous than his scandals, nearly leaving him with a massive debt and ruining his career!
Du Binquan gritted his teeth and caught sight of the cell phone in his pocket.
"Oh, this is the latest foldable phone, right? I remember it was quite expensive. It must be hard for young people to save money."
Xiao Li replied: "Thanks to you, I'm fine."
I don’t know if it’s yin and yang.
Du Binquan gritted his teeth secretly.
I also know that it's all thanks to me, you ungrateful little beast.
"Ahem..." Du Binquan cleared his throat: "Go out for a moment."
"oh."
Xiao Li felt something was a little strange, but he couldn't tell why. The moment he stepped over the threshold, he felt a chill on his back.
Du Binquan stared at his back, watched him leave, and immediately sent a message to producer Yuan Yuzhen.
"Please come over sometime. I have something to discuss with you."
Turning his eyes to the surveillance camera, the temporary substitute was still standing there, seemingly serious, but actually suffering from a split personality.
[Why why why why! I finally get to show my face, but I'm buried before I even get to the table...]
The painting style changed and became lively again.
[Look at it this way, the show's failure to get off the stage means the outcome is uncertain. You and I are both dark horses...]
【At least it sounds better than cattle and horses. 】
Then he pounded the wall again.
[But who wants to sound nice? Even dark horses and cows have to eat green belts.]
It's time to tell Sister Man to go settle the bill early and find an excuse to get as much as possible.
[How can a beggar complain about bad food? Give it to him~]
He tried to calm himself down.
Cheer up! Even if you don't get your money back, it wasn't all in vain. At least you worked yourself to death. This kind of money that you can't earn even if you work yourself to death is really fascinating.
[God of Wealth, I've gone crazy, please have mercy on me, ahhhhhh...]
Du Binquan felt a little distressed when he saw this.
Being a beast of burden is like going crazy.
Xia Chi wailed for a while, then started to worry about others again.
[Alas, the person who suffered the most in this matter has to be producer Yuan Yuzhen. I heard she had already shelved three dramas. She could have made a comeback with "Record of Mountains and Seas," but who knew someone would do something wicked?]
[And Du Binquan, he didn't realize that the drama he poured so much effort into was about to be ruined. His projects have been falling apart one after another, and his wife is making trouble every day. Who can bear this series of blows?]
[But there is a solution...]
???
Du Binquan pricked up his ears.
In fact, his wife had a brain tumor. During her pregnancy, her hormones fluctuated greatly, causing the tumor to grow larger and larger, pressing on her brain nerves. This caused her to have mental and behavioral abnormalities. At first, she had headaches and nausea, but later she became increasingly irritable, suspicious, and had a drastic change in her personality. It looked like an emotional problem, but it was actually a health issue.
[Find a tertiary hospital, get treatment if necessary, and surgery if necessary. Then make an appointment with a reliable Chinese medicine practitioner to properly regulate your body and clear your meridians. This is no more effective than learning those familiar idol drama plots.]
Du Binquan burst into tears.
Thank you. If it really works and cures my wife, I will work like a slave for you. No, I will devote all my resources to support you!!!
Du Binquan wiped away his tears, picked up the walkie-talkie, cleared his throat, and broadcast through the loudspeaker.
"Xia Chi, come here, Xia Chi."
